The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 922: Battle of Lingzhou (Part )

At this time, in the higher tent of the Yi Nan general in the South Camp, Yi Nan stood on a high place overlooking the scene in the distance. His heart was bleeding, he howled hysterically, and said with gritted teeth: "Damn it, damn it, did I fall into a trap?"

"It turns out that this Right Wise King has never believed in me. Gu Rentu just went back yesterday, and today the Turkic army came. It seems that he has had ill intentions for a long time and wants to eliminate our Xueyantuo tribe."

In the commander's tent, Böte and Turbuda were both serving carefully at the side, and Turbuda's forehead was covered with cold sweat, his back was soaked. He had solemnly assured the chief that the Right Wise King had fallen into a trap.

But the scene now was a slap in his face.

Tur did not even dare to answer or apologize. He shrank into a corner, fearing that the furious chief in front of him would take his anger out on him.

Botie stepped forward and advised: "It seems that this Right Wise King is no ordinary person. Like the Great Leader, he believes that one must first stabilize the country before fighting against foreign enemies. From his surprise attack, we can see that he has also considered this point."

"They are worried that we will turn against the Tang Dynasty halfway through the war, so they strike first."

"Is it true that the Central Plains is not a blessed land for us Yi men?"

Yinan's face turned grim as he said, "In the northwest, we Xueyantuo have won every battle. None of the small countries and forces in the Western Regions can be our opponents. But when we arrived in the Central Plains, we met this Right Wise King before we could even face Li Shimin."

"We have been caught off guard by him twice in a row, and have suffered heavy casualties. If we continue to lose, we won't even have a place to stand on this grassland, let alone compete with Li Shimin for the world."

"How is it, have our troops been assembled?"

At this moment, dozens of generals rushed in from outside the tent: "Great leader, the 150,000 elite troops of the South Camp have all been assembled and can go to rescue the North Camp at any time."

"How dare the Turkic thieves attack us? Great leader, just give the order. Our 150,000 cavalry will attack their rear and make sure they can't return."

"Yes, Chief."

The captains were filled with righteous indignation and the mood was boiling. They were just waiting for Yi Nan's order to lead the army into the battlefield.

"Okay, follow my orders."

When Yinan was about to speak, Botie suddenly stepped forward to stop him and said, "Great leader, the spies we sent out are investigating the enemy's situation. According to the report from the North Camp, the enemy troops attacking them are only about 200,000, while we have a full 300,000 troops."

"The Turks have a total of 800,000 cavalrymen in Yinshan. It is impossible for them to send only 200,000. Neither the Right Wise King nor Gu Rentu showed up. Do you think they will wait in secret for our main force to leave, and then surround us calmly?"

Well.
Botie’s analysis was not without reason. Yinan’s face turned pale, and the generals who had been so excited just now suddenly fell silent.

Yes, the other side has 800,000 people and has no shortage of manpower. Even if they don’t send all of them, but only half of them, they will still have far more people than we have, right?

Yinan stood at the door of the tent, watching the North Camp at the foot of the mountain struggling to hold on under the enemy's attack. Emergency messengers kept pouring in, but when he looked at the night in the distance, it was like a wild beast in the dark night, with its bloody mouth wide open, waiting for him to throw the last chip into the field and swallow it in one gulp.

Yi Nan was anxiously turning around: "So what do you think we should do? Are we just going to stand by and watch?"

"Great leader, we asked the Tang army for help when the enemy just appeared. They are only separated from here by a river. As long as they can send troops, perhaps there will be a chance of turning the situation around?" Botie replied.

"Them? They only have 100,000 people. How many reinforcements can they send?"

Yi Nan shook his head in disdain: "Even if all 100,000 men were deployed, most of them would be infantry. What good would that do?"

"Great leader, no matter what, we can't let the Tang Dynasty reap the fruits of the two tigers' fight."

Botie said sinisterly: "As long as we can drag the Tang Dynasty into the water, we can retreat calmly at that time."

"From the current war situation, it seems that the Right Wise King wants to destroy us first and then take care of the Tang Dynasty. From the perspective of military strategy, this is not wrong, but we are plotting against them first, but we are not prepared for them to use the same means to plot against us?"

"However, great leader, the Turkic army is too powerful to save the North Camp. We only have these 150,000 troops. If we lose these 150,000 troops, Xueyantuo will really be finished. This is the situation I see now."

"It's better to cut off your arm and survive. Anyway, the real fighting force of our Xueyantuo is in the rear camp, and the northwest is still in the hands of the leader. As long as these 150,000 people are there, the northwest is still in our hands."

"We made a mistake in our calculations before. We missed by one move."

"Now there are three parties in a tripartite confrontation. Both the Tang Dynasty and the Turks are wary of us. As long as we hide aside, they will find it difficult to fight at ease. In this case, why don't I temporarily withdraw and leave this mess in the Central Plains? In this way, Li Shimin and the Right Wise King will definitely be irreconcilable."

Yinan's heart was suddenly moved, but he also felt a little distressed. Did he just give up the battle in the Central Plains? His plan of taking advantage of the conflict between the two sides had not yet come true, but he was eliminated first. Yinan was really unwilling to accept this. Looking at the fierce battle at the foot of the mountain, Yinan's mind was in a mess, and he said in a panic: "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer."

Not long after, a soldier with arrows all over his body was supported by the guards of the general's tent into the big tent, gasping for breath.

As soon as the soldier saw Yi Nan, he struggled and fell to the ground: "Great leader, there is a large group of Turkic cavalry ambushing in the southwest. One of our scout teams was ambushed by them. Only I managed to escape, and the others were all killed."

"call"

Yi Nan was frightened and looked at each other with the other generals. Everyone looked relieved that they did not send troops rashly.

Botie stepped forward and said, "Sure enough, there are quite a few Turks coming this time. If it were during the day, the surrounding area would be flat and the visibility would be excellent, so they would not be able to hide. That's why they attacked the camp at night. Fortunately, the leader had foresight and did not act impulsively."

Just as Yi Nan was about to speak, another messenger came in and said, "Reporting to the great leader, I have been ordered to ask for help from Lingzhou. They said that Li Daozong has gone to Xiazhou and has not returned. The remaining generals have no right to decide on the dispatch of troops. Please hold the camp and wait for the court's order."

With a bang, Yi Nan angrily kicked over a small table in the tent and said angrily: "I knew that the Tang Dynasty was unreliable. Humph, the Turks are powerful. My Xueyantuo has been wiped out. Will Mo Nan be the next one?"

"When all of us on the periphery are swallowed up by the Turks one by one, I wonder how Li Shimin can resist the Right Wise King relying only on the Central Plains?"

As news of war on the front lines continued to come, time slowly passed.

On the battlefield where more than 300,000 cavalrymen were fighting, a large number of people died every moment, but the heaven and earth did not stop at all because of this hell-like scene. The sky in the distance gradually turned white, and light dispelled the darkness and descended on the earth.

By the time the sky brightened, the situation on the entire battlefield had already appeared in everyone's sight.

Whether it was the hillside where the Yi Nan tent was located, or Li Daozon and others on the top of Lingzhou City, they all saw the northwest direction of Beidaying.

An even larger cavalry formation was standing silently.

Three hundred thousand soldiers and horses gathered, with high morale, boundless army formation, armed with sharp weapons, neat and solemn, the military might is as mighty as the shining sun!

So many people watched quietly as the battle in the North Camp slowly came to an end, like ghosts, neither stepping forward to help nor attacking the South Camp where Yi Nan was.

Seeing this scene, the generals of the Tang army and Xueyantuo all gasped. Fortunately, no one acted rashly, otherwise they would have fallen into the "trap" of the Turks. The previously fierce battle in the North Camp was actually just a bait?
In the center of the 300,000 troops watching the battle in the northwest was the flag of Yourentu.

Under the military flag, more than 20 captains surrounded Gu Rentu and asked for battle: "Great leader, it is now daybreak and the battlefield situation is clear at a glance. The Xueyantuo in the South Camp only have 150,000 people, while we have 300,000. We will definitely win in one battle."

"If you don't come out now, when will you wait?"

Gu Rentu sighed inwardly, he also wanted to attack. He had wanted to attack last night when he raided the North Camp.

However, the Right Wise King had instructed that only 200,000 cavalrymen were allowed to attack the North Camp. As long as Yi Nan's South Camp army did not move out, the main force of the Turks would not move. If the battle in the North Camp was over and Yi Nan's army had not moved, they could launch an attack.

Gu Rentu was very confused. They were all cavalrymen, and Yinan's southern camp soldiers were more elite. If they were not surrounded in advance, it would be difficult to annihilate them. If Yinan was determined to run, they were all cavalrymen, so who could catch up with who?
Isn't it obvious that they want to let Yi Nan go?

But Li Yan insisted, so Gu Rentu had to obey the order. This is Gu Rentu's point. Although his mind is not very smart, he has strong execution ability.

As long as it is Li Yan's words, he will follow them without compromise, which is also what Li Yan values ​​about him.

In just that short night, more than one-third of the 150,000 soldiers in the North Camp were killed in the battle. The ground was strewn with corpses and the camp was filled with smoke and fire. Many soldiers did not receive reinforcements until dawn and finally knelt down in despair and surrendered.

More and more people are laying down their weapons, and the battlefield is entering its final stages.
When Gu Rentu saw that the situation had reached what the Right Wise King had described, he stopped hesitating and ordered the army to move slowly and began to rush towards Yinan's southern camp.

Yi Nan, who had already prepared all the troops and horses, tensed up. Botie said anxiously, "Great leader, after two wars, the situation is irreversible. It is useless to stay in the Central Plains. With 150,000 troops, no matter how fiercely the Tang and the Turks fight, we will not gain any advantage."

"Rather than delaying here any longer and ending up with nowhere to stay?"

"Why don't we leave the Central Plains and go back to the northwest, which is our base. With the great leader and these 150,000 cavalry, we can unify the west in less than three or two years and wait for the Turks and the Tang Dynasty to fight to the death."

"When the time comes, I will lead my army eastward, and the world will surely belong to the great leader."
